I wonder if this is because England built its empire with a globally dominant navy, so various of its idioms (especially institutional / military) have a nautical bias? That would be a neat little nugget of dialect.
Sorry to rag on you but this is like the nth post on this I've seen, and bluesky really needs a way to flag for engagement bait. Come on, nobody "forgot". Sure, the mainstream media is chasing the war for now, as they probably should. We will all continue to push for developments on the pedophilia.
Hmm. Maybe like, we could start with complaining that women and non-whites are missing? Then worry about whether some people’s chosen crazy beliefs are really represented (and oh don’t worry, they are.)
hey come on no spoilers please
For $11,574 per second we could have Oprah say "You get a car! And YOU get a car!" every 2 seconds, for 5 solid days now ... and actually give away that car.
All to kill people and blow up things instead of provide health care, food, shelter, needs. What a wasteful, stupid administration.
Ah the House voted. Yep, sad.
I agree our representation is in the minority at the moment, but no only Fetterman did and he's been obviously with the GOP for years now.
He hasn't yet done the same damage, but Trump has become today's Hitler. He is a psychopathic, murderous, fascist leader in command of the world's most powerful country. Remove him, investigate his lot, and prosecute them with expedience, to bring all the horrible crimes to light in the courtrooms.
This is a fucking insane response. Our President literally just said he doesn't care if the war kills me, or kills any of us, citizens in our homes. This man, who has sworn falsely to protect us. We must removed him from power and bring him to justice for the psychopathic criminal he is.
Even though we haven’t ratified the Rome Statute yet, we can still cooperate with the ICC. Just saying.
I despise her existence as a caricature of a lie-spewing totalitarian mouthpiece with a passion, and there are so many horrible things you could accurately say about her .. why do people resort to objectifying and debasing her in that way? Literally the lowest way to go, and not right.
He doesn’t want them smart. He wants them loyal, through greed or fear. This is a hallmark of fascism: actual qualifications do not matter, leading to total dysfunction in government but loyalty to the crazy leader.
Don’t worry if things start to go poorly I’m sure they’ll be very honest and contrite and take a hard look at the next steps, and definitely won’t tell us blatant lies and scream about leaks and security and vacuum up huge piles of money while people are dying everywhere.
If we do win, expect some big tantrums and burning shit on the way out. Lots of papers and communications and evidence to try to destroy.
You couldn't make this shit up.
My vote is that if we want to regain some world standing and goodwill, we insist our representatives ratify the Rome Statute, and subject all of our home-grown war criminals to the ICC. We don't even have to do all the prosecuting, the rest of the world gets to join in and help. I think they will.
Yeah. Surely if anyone is gonna be wantonly raping children, it's not THIS GUY, who would think?!
Wait .. why do you even need to vote to block it? There is no function for the Executive to perform during elections, emergency or not, is there?
Whoa, this is very insightful, I think, but first I have to try to digest it fully.
This is an obviously stupid move, it weakens us further in various ways while enriching Trump and his cronies through various means. Couldn’t satisfy Putin more.
When the US drops bombs, destroying and disrupting lives around the world, it traumatizes people and they hate us using our power to create war, always on their soil.
And it motivates them to bring the war to OUR soil. This is how terrorists are raised: it makes us LESS safe. Thanks, Trump.
Boy I bet the heads at FIFA are really regretting that Peace Prize right nooooh that’s right they are corrupt and have no shame.
We have to dismantle all this shit right away as soon as we get power. Fire everyone, start investigations, enact new laws and staff oversight. dig it all out or it comes right back.
We would need to pack SCOTUS with justices that actually care about the Constitution and democracy before trying Trump for treason, so they wouldn’t give a bullshit immunity ruling.
I kinda like the idea of that redacted image you sent being the literal email you got, placeholders and all. I think I could spam everyone with that and get a few hits maybe.
For anyone reading, this is a disingenuous take, we have all seen how Warren acts and votes, she was one of his most vocal and vehement opponents during Term 1 and pretending anything she’s doing is Trump toady-ism is laughable. That’s not “cope”, that’s the power of observation.
I know you're normally very thoughtful about your wording and headlines but "would allow Trump" seems dangerously misleading? The EO is a statement but doesn't empower him to do anything, right? It's illegal and unconstitutional. It "would illegally attempt" perhaps?
And also remember they have zero authority to actually do any of this. States run all elections. And if any states actually try any of this, they can be sued immediately. Trump is a bully, he just wants to control the narrative and psych enough people out to make a difference.
Was your husband in an Elephant 6 band? It seems pretty awkward either way to be hitting on your opener’s wife. The musician’s life …
Jeff Mangum?! Well, that's something I never expected to hear about.
